It was an event to remember and happened exactly how Jordan states it did! I'm glad I convinced him to stay and get arrested with me, even though he spent his birthday in jail!Sun, 15 Jan 2012 22:53:03 -0500chi-town rudegalhttp://peoplesworld.org/occupy-chicago-a-first-hand-account/#PageComment_24896Comment by 'Jordan Farrar' on Occupy Chicago: A first hand accounthttp://peoplesworld.org/occupy-chicago-a-first-hand-account/#PageComment_22371
I forgot to mention that it was my 28th Birthday that I spent in prison. There was another young activist who was celebrating his 21st birthday which was inspiring. Every teen dreams of his 21st birthday and the drunken debauchery that follows, and to spend yours sober and in prison for almost 20 hours is real dedication.Fri, 28 Oct 2011 12:36:30 -0400Jordan Farrarhttp://peoplesworld.org/occupy-chicago-a-first-hand-account/#PageComment_22371Comment by 'DiaKristy' on Occupy Chicago: A first hand accounthttp://peoplesworld.org/occupy-chicago-a-first-hand-account/#PageComment_22370
Thanks for a great glimpse of your experience. Very enlightening. (good writing, too)
I hope that you and your friends will hang onto that youthful energy and find a more effective way to channel it into some truly great causes.
"Leaderless" movements can't accomplish much.
But the world is filled with organizations and individuals who are doing amazing and wonderful things to help people of all races, genders, ages and ethnicities to do all kinds of good. (plants and animals, too)
Look for one.
They will be thrilled to have someone as talented - and honest - as you!
